Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Avocado
- 2 slices of whole grain or gluten-free bread, toasted
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Toppings and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon balsamic reduction
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast two slices of your preferred whole grain or gluten-free bread until golden brown and crisp. This provides a crunchy base for the creamy avocado and toppings.
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half and carefully remove the pit. Cut the avocado into chunks while still in the skin, then scoop into a bowl.
- Mash the Avocado: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the avocado. Using a fork, mash the avocado until smooth but still slightly chunky. The lemon juice enhances flavor and prevents browning.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices. Top with crumbled feta cheese and halved cherry tomatoes evenly across the toast.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic reduction over the avocado toast. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use hearty whole grain or gluten-free bread for best texture and to hold toppings well.
- Choose a perfectly ripe avocado – soft but not mushy – for ideal mashing consistency.
- If balsamic reduction is unavailable, simmer balsamic vinegar until it thickens to a syrupy consistency for a similar effect.
